The UK government published five main pillars for boosting cyber resilience in National Health Service (NHS), as part of its policy plan on 'A cyber resilient health and adult social care system in England: cybersecurity strategy to 2030.' These five pillars aim to reduce the risk of cyberattacks and improve the response and recovery after every incident in the health and social care systems.
These pillars include the identification of the areas where the disruption would cause the greatest harm; Unification of the sector to enable faster response; Ensuring that the people working in the organizations have the capacity to respond to cyber threats at all levels; Embedding security into the framework of emerging technology; and Providing support to every health care organization to minimize the impact and recovery time of a cyberattack.
The complete implementation of the plan strategy is planned to be published in summer 2023.
